Getting to know Michael Misterka

As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) and military veteran, my focus is on helping individuals and couples overcome challenges in their lives and their relationships. With twenty years of experience in counseling practice, I've dedicated my career to helping individuals and couples navigate life's toughest times My approach At the heart of my work is a client-centered and client-motivated approach. I encourage authentic discussions about these strategies and value your decision-making throughout the process. The counseling strategies I use are a blend of developmental, psychodynamic, cognitive, reality therapy, and experiential practices My focus My practice has a strong focus on supporting combat veterans and their readjustment to civilian life, addressing relationship conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and families dealing with substance abuse or incarceration. I also specialize in managing anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with significant life changes. My communication style Giving you my full attention to actively hear your concerns and gain your trust is fundamental to our working relationship. Going at your pace is our pace; we will walk together. My journey to mental healthcare A troubled adolescence and several military deployments in a combat unit drove me to find ways to heal and to participate with a group of people on a similar journey. As a parent, raising children who are successful in their own lives, including one with serious disabilities, has been among my most cherished experiences My goals for you My goal for you is to feel supported while identifying what needs to be processed, and for you to grow through mastering your challenges. My first session with you I’ll ask questions to know what you want from therapy, but there’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with.
